The magnificently designed Lürssen superyacht, Pelorus, has now been listed for sale. Renowned names in yachting such as Tim Heywood, Terence Disdale, and Lürssen are behind this 5,403GT vessel’s design and construction. Delivered in 2003, it held the 11th position as the largest yacht in the world and was the flagship of the German shipyard fleet. In recent years, significant refits have induced the addition of a second helipad and regular maintenance work aligned with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) class survey requirements. The vessel currently enjoys a clean status with no recommendations. Following its meticulous preservation, Pelorus now awaits its new owner with an asking price of €160,000,000.
Emerging from the shroud of secrecy, a remarkably hushed 87.9-metre conversion project steps into the public eye. The said yacht is yet another testament to masterful craftsmanship, initiating its journey at the Stahlbau Nord shipyard, a subsidiary of Lloyd Werft’s owner, the Roenner Group.
This covert project has breathed life into what was once an offshore supply vessel known as ASL Symphony. However, the ship’s recent redux has rendered it almost unrecognisable. Its purchase in the first quarter of 2023 by an undisclosed private owner marked the beginning of her transformation into an able-bodied explorer that exudes grandeur.
Originally, ASL Symphony was birthed in the hands of the Indonesian builder, ASL Shipyard in 2015. This once vermilion workhorse, with a 21-metre beam and 4.7-metre draught, began her journey as the multi-purpose offshore tug-cum-supply ship named Energy Lindesnes.
